Linux gaming is at a point where the only games that don’t work are the ones being actively blocked by the developers, mostly through anti-cheat systems. Just install a stable distro like Ubuntu or Fedora, and use Steam, Lutris and/or Heroic to manage the games and compatibility layers needed for them.

There has been for some time the option to play on “safer seas” where its basically a private server for your party, but you get lesser rewards.

I guess that’s why it was a failed easy encyclopedia check

For a single-player game…

I started playing a year ago (also on Linux), I never felt a lack of players to do anything, be it recent or older content. As for performance, from what I can compare with my friends, its runs at about 90% of windows. It’s free to play the base content, give it a try!

Man that game is a damn masterpiece

So I have a 35ft sailboat (or yacht) that I paid less than 10k euros for, and I sail it with my family on the weekends near places where orcas sometimes roam, tell me how I am a millionaire again? Or how its “justice” if they someday sink my boat? Because these are the ones they are attacking. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all against those sea monstrosities from the ultra rich, but cheering for the orcas is not the way. Someday they will get someone killed, and they will probably be hunted down until they stop being a threat.

Yeah, they are damaging mostly sailboats, not those millionaire party yachts you imagine. Boats from families and people who just want to sail and chill on the ocean, literally the least environmental damaging boats there are.

Website hosting costs most likely.

What it needs is to allow Linux players. It works fine with Proton, the anti-cheat just kicks you out. And as much as I would love to go back playing it, I wont use windows for it.

I had that issue for a while and it turns out I forgot I had an extension changing my user agent. After I changed it back to default everything worked fine.

The issue that everybody seems to forget is that orcas are not damaging/sinking those > 50m yachts from millionaires, they are targeting smaller sailing boats (still called yachts), most of them from your average Joe who just wants to chill under sail, like me. Now I get very nervous every time I go to sea because of the attacks near the shore.

So if indeed orcas are “rebelling”, it’s the people who have nothing to do with the issue that are paying, as usual.

Sorry for the rant.

Indeed. First golden rule is no preorders, and then after it comes out, if it requires online to play the single player, I don’t buy it.

Love this song! The discovery channel part didn’t age well though.

Let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel

Fishing crabs in Alaska or digging for gold?

Dark Souls 2 is perfectly playable offline, the online features are optional.
